Rev. R. L. Duflle and wife, the parents
of Mrs. T. L. Hilton, celebrated
their Golden Wedding anniversary
at their home at Westminster. S. C.,
on the 19th instant. The Tugaloo
Tribune contains an interesting account
of the occasion with good pictures
of the aged and Godly couple.
The following is the account as taken
from The Tribune:
"The Golden Wedding Anniversary
of Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Duffle,
which was celebrated at their home
in Westminster yesterday afternoon
between the hours of four and seven,
was a most happy and enjoyable occasion.
It was a beautiful spTing
-y and the invitations sent out met
" ith a general response. After the
guests had chatted together for
some time, a 'Floral Wedding Story'
contest was in order. A dozen or
more questions were written on a
sheet of paper and the answers required
were names of flowers. The
*ize, a box of candy, was won by
Mrs. J. L. Singleton.
"The rooms were appropriately
id tastefully decorated for the occasion.
In the parlor the dates.
1865?1915, suspended from the
wall. A lot of choice home made
'Int candy pas placed in the parlor
and elsewhere convenient fo rthe
guests.
"Rev. and Mrs. Duffle received
numerous handsome and useful presents
of gold, gold coin, silver and
chinaware, cut glass, etc. Among
the presents, a ten and two five dollar
gold pieces were noted.
"At six o'clock dainty refreshments
of cake and ice cream were
served, which was quite a treat to
all. After the refreshments Mr. A.
Gaines read out a number of ques'ons
of things unknown in the days
of our ancestors, the answers to
them being modern inventions and
discoveries.
"Rev. George Gary-Lee of the
Methodist church, read a portion of
Scripture and offered prayer. The
benediction was pronounced by Rev.
R. A. Sublette, a Raptist minister.
"The guests present Included Rev.
and Mrs. Joseph L. Singleton and
'' tie daughter of Starr; Mrs. R. G.

of the South Carolina Conference.
Mr. Dagnall received for his marriage

"Rev. Reuben Lawson Duffle was
born at Chester, this state. 75 years
ago. He began preaching the Gospel
early in life and united with the
South Carolina Conference at Marion
in 186fi, one year after his marriage.
Bishop Wltham presided at that annua'
conference. As an intinerant
Methodist preacher Rev. Duffle is familiar
with the work that comes before
the old time 'circuit rider* and
'lie nastor of a flourishing city
bureh. He has been a most faith1
"Soldier of the Cross,' and doing
'lis pastorate no charges were ever
hronght against him and Tip always
'eft his circuit free from debt. For
"ome years nast he lias been on the
supernnuated list, holding no regn*
charge. but continues to preach
"evernl sermons durine the year by
fecial appointment. Before comine
'o this county Rev. Duffle resided at
Lancaster for several years. He has
one living brother, John Duffle, lawyer
In the patent office at Washington.
D. f\. who is 79 years old. Rev.
Duffle has received into the church
an average of fifty members annually
during his ministry.
"Mrs. Duffle Is 68 years old. Defore
her marriage she was Miss Ella
Stott. She was born In this state,
but removed to Mississippi with her
parents when a little girl. After the
death of her parents she came hack
o South Carolina. She has no living
brothers or sisters.
"Rev. and Mrs. Duffle have two
sons, six daughters and eighteen
grand children. The children are
?s follows: Mrs. R. O. Elliott of
Greenville. Mrs. C. M. Rhelton of
Douglasville, Oa., Mr. Charles Duffle

Says Some One Has Playtsl n
Trlok on Him.
Uncle Hurcly Montgomery called
at The News olllce Tuesday afternoon
very much disturbed in mind and
body. In his hand he held a white
card, which he handed us and which
proved to be a post card with a firstrate
picture of the old fellow thereon
and printed above the picture
; ihese words:
"Hardy Montgomery, born 1799,
I one hundred and sixteen years old.
supposed to be the oldest negro in
he state, still living. Lancaster.
3. 1915."
Handing us the card he commened.
"Now liaint this a turrible come
off, usin* me dis way to make money
1 and me gitten* none of it." At this
1 point we interrupted him with the
' inquiry as to who had taken the plc;
ture. He replied: "Can't tell ver
ter sabe my lit'e. Yer know des
1 got sich curious ways of doin' things
des days, yer can't keep up wid 'em.
I I jes' bet de fellow dat played dat
trick on me is de son of one of dent
Yankees dat come hare to Lancaster
j iess after de war and cut up so many
1 capers. Now, what I wants to know
is jis dis, can't dis feller be wotched
| up wid and de plcters took from
him? L)ey tells me dat dem Yankees
up Norf is jiss naterally crazy about
old niggers and as I is de oldest one
anybody knows of, I'm de one dat
j oughter be gettin' de money out'n
de picter, fer God knows I needs it."
We tried to pour oil upon the troubled
waters of the old man's troubles.
but without much success. We
I finally suggested that he go and see
Postmaster Hunter and get him to
, see his brother, the magistrate, and
get him to grant hi ma writ of
Racum Cum Fetclium for the fellow
who perpetrated the outrage upon
him. This seemed to satisfy the old
fellow and he hobbled away mutter-1
ing to himself, "Well, well, well, fore
God der's some mighty curious folks
in dis world, but I believe dat Mr. j
Hunter kin fix it up and git dat chap
dat worked dat trick on me."
